what type of doctor is it? my husbands doctor just recently became a pain management and also started to prescribe suboxone. he has been my husbands doctor for years and always took a check and credit card. the last time my husband went there, it was only cash. when they  start these kind of policys they start to get shady. my husband & i are considering reporting him, it is unethical . they are hiding the money and also dont want a record of who they are seeing.
definitely check with your insurance company.

That depends on what ur deductible is & type of insurance. Say u have a insurance that has a $2500 deductible but it's required ( this is the new thing, my company offered this, this year) before any benefits kick in. The deductible needs to be paid up front, with office visit's, prescriptions & such before any of the insurance actually kicks in. I'd call ur insurance company tomorrow for sure!

Check with your insurance company, it could be that your plan has a high deductible before they start paying a percentage of the office visits. He may be sending the info to your insurance so that your deductible is met. All plans are different. Good luck.

yeah that is weird, i would check with your insurance company too.  Even if it is someone out of network, i have never heard of a copay that high.
